Interior features
●The power outlet can be used when:
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
12 V DC: The engine switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
220 V AC: The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
12 V DC: The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
220 V AC: The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● When turning the engine switch off:
Disconnect electrical devices with charging functions, such as mobile bat-
tery packs.
If such devices are left connected, the engine switch may not be turned off
normally.
● Vehicles with Stop & Start system: When the engine restarts after having
been stopped by the Stop & Start system, the power outlet may be tempo-
rarily unusable, but this is not a malfunction.
NOTICE
● To avoid damaging the power outlets, close the power outlet lid when the
power outlet is not in use.
Foreign objects or liquids that enter the power outlet may cause a short
circuit.
● To prevent blown fuse:
12 V DC
Do not use an accessory that uses more than 12 V 10 A.
220 V AC
Do not use a 220 V AC appliance that requires more than 100 W.
If a 220 V AC appliance that consumes more than 100 W is used, the pro-
tection circuit will cut the power supply.
● To prevent battery discharge, do not use the power outlet longer than nec-
essary when the engine is not running.
● The following 220 V AC appliances may not operate properly even if their
power consumption is under 100 W:
• Appliances with high initial peak wattage
• Measuring devices that process precise data
• Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply

Maintenance and care
WARNING
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become el ectrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the engine compartment
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
● Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
● Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■ If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.
